I’ve been using UpdraftPlus to backup my WordPress website daily and keep 2 backup retentions, which works like a charm. However, I’m looking to set up a system for monthly and yearly backups with the same 2 retention policy, all while storing them in Google Drive without incurring additional costs.
Could you please share your recommendations or experiences with a free method to set up these monthly and yearly backups effectively using Google Drive as the storage solution? Any tips or plugins that work seamlessly with UpdraftPlus?
Here are a few specific questions I have in mind:
1. What plugins or tools can I use to schedule monthly and yearly backups and keep 2 backup retentions for each of them, with Google Drive as the storage destination?
2. Are there any free methods to automatically manage these backups, perhaps with a similar level of simplicity as UpdraftPlus, while integrating them with Google Drive?
3. What’s the best practice for storing these backups securely in Google Drive, and how can I ensure the 2 retention policy is maintained?
